I read the grounds of appeal and I knew that this was a winner. A big thanks to Joe who worked tireless on my appeal.

It started with a 20 minutes free immigration advice. I met with Amar to discuss my ILR refusal. He gave me a great deal of
quality advice and decided to take on my messy case. I had doubts on the merits of my case by he was relatively convinced
he could win it. That made me quite secure.

To be honest, things did not start as quick as I would have wanted, but they kept on communicating the process and state of things
to me

A big thank you to Verusha and Foram. They were also very helpful. Brilliant and informative.

some of whom even told me that i would not be able to get an indefinte leave to remain in this country.

The process was long but was worth it. In the end, a big thank you to Reiss Edwards.
